I have a jet pro shop table saw. I am working at getting it as squared up as I can. I built a dial indicator miter jig. I measured the blade front to back. I found my blade has a .0010 angle from front to back. I was able to get my fence down to .0002 front to back.I plan on trying my hand at box building. I am afraid the blade probably needs some adjustment. I am looking for what you guys think. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

An .001” and a .0002”, in any configuration, either converging or diverging, are going to result an a, .010”+/- error over a travel of ten inches. thats a third of a thirty second of an inch…I think you have met or exceedied any manufacturer’s specification. I think you’re dialed in pretty good.

Thanks guys, I was a machinist years ago and I was used to working with tight tolerances and that’s why I thought best to ask you guys. FWIW, my home made jig has zero slop and is super tight in the miter slot. :) Since it was going to be my basis for measuring everything else I made darn sure it was right LOL

Ken,Good luck with your box making. We can use all the box makers we can get. I very much doubt that my UniSaw is as close as yours! :-)) You might want to pick up a Freud Diablo 7 1/4” blade with a 1/16th kerf also. ($14 at Menards) I have a number of Forrest blades (which are great) but find that for boxes, the little blade stays on the UniSaw most of the time. Hope to see some of your box work here on LJ!!Roger

Don’t forget that you’re working with a product that will move all the time no matter what ya do. I get worked up when I hear about folks who try to get woodworkin’ tools set to the nearest .0001”. Don’t forget that the old masters did’t use a micrometer.Bill
